| Consultation on the Consumer Standards |
Regulator of Social Housing |
The Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) has launched a consultation on a new set of standards for all social landlords, designed to protect tenants and improve the service they receive.

The proposed standards will:
- Protect tenants by strengthening the safety requirements that all social landlords need to meet
- Require landlords to know more about the condition of their tenants’ homes and the individual needs of the people living in them
- Make sure landlords listen to tenants’ complaints and respond quickly when they need to put things right
- Require landlords to be open and accountable to their tenants, and treat them with fairness and respect.
The consultation on the consumer standards is running for 12 weeks, and closes on 17 October. |
